So guys I THINK (Not Sure) that the reason us Mobile players have to use Griffin kibble and Computer players can use Carrots is that Computer Uni are Crap. Computer Uni have no beautiful colours, no rainbow jumps, look like Equus a bit, and most importantly, they don't have Rainbow drug poops. But Mobile Uni have all that and a bag of chips. They are very OP so I guess that's why. The devs also probably don't want noobs taming the Uni. Btw I'm not being sarcastic.

In Ark Mobile, the tame requires griffin kibble. This makes it an end-game creature. Why? Because Griffins need traps, and you need their respect to tame them. But why can't you just look around for their eggs in the wild? It's because Griffins do NOT lay eggs in the wild, and must be bred, or probably tamed to lay eggs. Griffin Kibble also requires some ingredients that need to be bought from the shop. I suggest a soothing balm, because it will make the taming faster. They use the exact same saddle as Equus, so if you are new to Ark, do not be fooled. Unicorns are more endgame than you think. Do not try putting it in the pen at levels that do not suit the requirements for taming a griffin. The Unicorn will simply starve after Ark weeks of being in the pen. I do indeed know this because I trapped one for a long time, and it disappeared. This is because of starvation. This also happened with a Ovira I did not plan to tame. Mysteriously, it's health was dropping, so I tranqed it. I saw it had no food. That was why it was dieing. It died after that, due to no food. So, if you are not a good level like level 80-70 you should probably not trap it. Once tamed, when you jump, it will make a mini-rainbow. If this was helpful, you know what to do. I recommend a pen to tame it too. Here are the things you should need to tame it: A taming pen(recommended), soothing balm(Also recommended), and of course, Griffin Kibble. Have fun with your unicorn. And do note, unlike Equus, these cannot be tamed with any other herbivore taming foods like vegetables/berries. So they can ONLY be tamed with griffin kibble on Mobile.

Unicorns (on ark mobile) are almost exclusively found north of the volcano at the base. You will need a argy or a quetz to pick them up (because it’s a dangerous place to tame them) and the only thing you can feed them is griffin kibble. With a 3x soothing balm you will need 2-3 griffin kibbles. With a 10x soothing balm you will need 2 griffin kibbles. With a 15x soothing balm you will only need 1 griffin kibble. Make sure to wear gillie armor so you don’t enrage or spook them. (If you are having trouble figuring out how to get griffin kibble, you need a male and a female, However, their names have to rhyme. Example: alaELL lantirELL, SKYnor SKYlan.) female griffins do not lay eggs naturally. You have to use fertilized eggs to make kibble.

Just found one at the base of winters mouth on the SW side. Couldn’t believe my eyes! Went and got rockaroot as that was all I had, snuck up behind it with the rockaroot in the last item slot to feed it, aaaaand my guy ended up punching it…. It ran away and I couldn’t find the magical beast after an hour.

Ok so before I start i play on mobile, and i had just found one of these pretty things near the beach its a lvl 4 but I was just so excited that I even found one and wasted my amber (45) to get soothing balm to take it, turns out they can't eat crops. I tried to give it berries but it doesn't work, im so mad rn.

So on the Island map playing Ascended Ark I headed out toward Herbie Island on a raft filled with some taming supplies to tame a pteranodon and hopefully a decent level ankhy. I first saw it initially when I arrived and thought, "well damn, I've never seen an equus spawn on Herbie Island," then I spy glassed it and found it out to be a 140 male Unicorn!!! Marking this as my second time seeing one of these beauties since Survival Evolved. The first I still remember being a level 25 and even debated taming it.(I didn't since a baryonyx killed it shortly after.) Forgot about taming a pteranodon for a hot second gathered my carrots from the raft and engaged. First time was unsuccessful, so I knocked it out and waited for it wake up. Next time I had success since it didn't randomly buck me off even though I gave it it's first feed for some odd reason, tamed and named it "Kalibas" after the guy that killed all the unicorns on Clash of the titans. I only mention all of this because out of all the hours I've put in the game I've never seen one spawn at Herbie Island, what's more anything else I would class as exotic or useful. So for all ark players DO NOT forget to check Herbie Island if you're in the market for a unicorn. By far the best place to find and tame one.
